Stopping the Dark Act, Which Would Preempt Labeling of GMO Food
We speak with a representative of Cultivate Oregon about their campaign to stop the DARK Act, (H.R. 1599). The Dark Act, the so-called "Safe and Accurate Food Labeling Act," is currently moving to the U.S. Senate Committee on Agriculture, Nutrition & Forestry. The Senate has set a biotech hearing for October 21st. If this bill passes the Senate it would preempt labeling of genetically engineered food, automatically un-do successful state initiatives requiting labeling, as well as nullifying any previously passed GMO bans, like in Jackson and Josephine Counties.
